Fancy learning the secrets of a Bluebell Wood in Watercolour

An American watercolor bargain.

I love a bargain, maybe it's because of my Yorkshire roots!

So while pondering over my first cup of tea, I thought now while the pound is rising and falling against the Euro and the Dollar, now is an ideal time for American  and European artists to sign up for the Online Watercolor course.

Are you new to watercolors? Do you fancy learning some new techniques from an English Landscape artist. Which colours suit the English Landscape and quite importantly how to create soft atmospheric mist which we see over here and is the essence of English watercolours.

My online courses contain six projects, each with a colour tag, sketch, step by step word document with many clear photo's and personal feedback on each project ( I find this is what each artist benefits and enjoys the most)

I thoroughly enjoyed this project the colours were lovely. I have had to adjust them slightly to fit with the colours I have. Carol

 Looked a bit intimidating initially but I felt happier once I got the sky out of the way. Enjoyed it after that. Interesting colour combinations. John

Here is my latest attempt. I have learned quite a bit doing this painting. Not least that you can be too generous with masking fluid! Josanne




Once again 2 versions ended up being not too bad. Far from perfect but I'm having fun doing them. Will be practising trees over the next few days - they are definitely over worked. Chris


 I  use too much water sometimes and end up with a bloom where I don’t want it! Any tips?  Anyway, I enjoyed doing the painting and look forward to your comments! Sally







Please find attached my second attempt. Went ok until I got to the trees across the lake which started to look like a large bush. Also had problems with the reflections which I muddled through a bit. This one I found harder with lots going on and new skills to pick up etc.John



I have to say that your course has really helped me focus on small steps.  The tendency can be to dive off in all directions with different techniques and subjects and buying new equipment when all that is needed is a few colours and brushes, some decent paper and a bit of know how. I am enjoying it very much. Chris





 I had lots of fun with this because of the bright colors and it was liberating to just splash the paint on and watch it do its magic. Thanks Debbie

Painted in Watercolours

I'm loving painting these tonal views of the Lake District. With no pre sketching it's straight in with the brush and paint. Lots of thinking where the brush mark will go mind, and masses of clean water. 

It's a great way to start and understand the flow and excitement of watercolour painting. A few brushes, paper and a few tubes of paint is all you need. Quite a cheap hobby I think!!

If you fancy having a go at watercolours and no idea where to start or what paper to use, my online course is ideal.With personal feedback  on every project 

it's a great way to start painting watercolours and get the Bug!

Suddenly nature and the landscape take on a whole new meaning

It's fantastic.
